Operation Apex

Operation Apex was a program made by the Eastern Socialist Council to create robot warriors to match the power of Terralibero's Powered Infantry, officially called Apex Model Warriors for the Proletariat Revenge Fighters. Their secondary purpose was to reorganize the world under a Communist government if the Council suceeded in its plan to sterilized the world with antimatter.

Creation
The revenge-killers were assembled under Philidelphia during the 2040s, in a secret production facility. The AI was generated from the minds of tens of thousands of individuals, their consciousness taken from their bodies (often unwillingly) by stolen Mind/Body Displacement Systems, created by VART.

The several hundred Apex Warriors that were created were divided into Squadrons of ten. Each squad had a specific assignment. Squad 001, for example, was kept dormant in New York, programmed to awake if the dome collapsed. One of the 001 robots, Apex Warrior 001.1 (Nicknamed Socialist One, or Commander Commie) was released to hunt down the Vail wormhole to execute the Reorganization plan.

Abilities
The robots were heavily armed, but specifics varied with the individual and the squad. Some known abilities included:
 * Flying: S001 had rockets that allowed them to fly for a short time
 * Echolocation: Every robot had a sonic detection system that allowed identification of threats in the dark/impaired mobility.
 * Plasma cannons: Certain Socialist robots had shoulder mounted plasma blasters that could penetrate almost any armor, with the exception of Powered Infantry exoskeletons and Vittorio Cascella's nanosuit. They also could not penetrate neutron-degenerate material.
 * Machine gun: The standard weapon of the Apex revenge-killers was a forearm minigun that fired high velocity armor piercing rounds, capable of taking down a tank and swaths of enemy soldiers.
 * Wormhole interface: Squadron 001 aquired a connection to the Vail wormhole in 2055 when Socialist One interfaced with the arcane technology of a Terraliberan exoskeleton. This connection allowed the robots to feel where objects connected to the wormhole were. This ability eventually spread through every Apex Warrior, and they all seeked out wormhole technology according to Reorganization programming even after the Battle of Vail and the subsequent nuclear war.
 * GPS: The revenge-killers had GPS devices that could locate objectives from a huge database stored in Socialist space imaging satellites.
 * Micronuclear missiles: The Atlanta squad (S032) had a missile launcher that fired small antimatter explosives.  Almost every robot in this squad was destroyed in a suicide bombing when they activated a hidden nuke in the capital of the American Confederacy.
